- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Future of Mental Health Care: A Vision for Change: Update from Health Service Executive (30 Nov 2017)
Anne Rabbitte: I have decided with the HSE that I am going to drill down into questions. What I need to know are concise answers in regard to how many fully fledged teams there are nationally.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Future of Mental Health Care: A Vision for Change: Update from Health Service Executive (30 Nov 2017)
Anne Rabbitte: That is okay, it will answer for the next day. We have dealt with 24. Mr. Ryan has answered this. How many seven day mental health services are there? Seven is what he has said. Is that the correct figure nationally?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Future of Mental Health Care: A Vision for Change: Update from Health Service Executive (30 Nov 2017)
Anne Rabbitte: The figure for seven-over-seven is 60%. Is that correct?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Future of Mental Health Care: A Vision for Change: Update from Health Service Executive (30 Nov 2017)

Anne Rabbitte: We are talking about it but we have not launched it. Has the HSE gone to recruitment of staff?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Future of Mental Health Care: A Vision for Change: Update from Health Service Executive (30 Nov 2017)
Anne Rabbitte: There has been no recruitment of staff. Can the HSE provide us with the list of the 25 services for improvement projects listed in the presentation earlier?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Future of Mental Health Care: A Vision for Change: Update from Health Service Executive (30 Nov 2017)
Anne Rabbitte: That is perfect. I need to ask some more questions on dual diagnosis. Can Mr. Dodd explain dual diagnosis? Let us suppose a patient presents to a general practitioner primarily with addiction problems but there are underlying mental health issues. What does the GP do with such a patient?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Future of Mental Health Care: A Vision for Change: Update from Health Service Executive (30 Nov 2017)
Anne Rabbitte: I am referring to an addiction presentation with underlying mental health issues.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Future of Mental Health Care: A Vision for Change: Update from Health Service Executive (30 Nov 2017)
Anne Rabbitte: Let us suppose a GP wants to make a referral to the hospital in Galway. I am from Galway, so it is primarily a matter of Galway for me. Unfortunately, we do not have an admissions policy at the moment where there is dual diagnosis in University Hospital Galway. The HSE representatives have referred to Dublin and so on. How can that be addressed? What is the policy in this regard?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Future of Mental Health Care: A Vision for Change: Update from Health Service Executive (30 Nov 2017)
Anne Rabbitte: I said it was an addiction with an underlying mental health issue. The person would already have been to mental health services.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Future of Mental Health Care: A Vision for Change: Update from Health Service Executive (30 Nov 2017)
Anne Rabbitte: It is not only about admission. I have in mind referral for assessment.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Future of Mental Health Care: A Vision for Change: Update from Health Service Executive (30 Nov 2017)
Anne Rabbitte: Yes.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Future of Mental Health Care: A Vision for Change: Update from Health Service Executive (30 Nov 2017)
Anne Rabbitte: Do we have one in Galway?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Future of Mental Health Care: A Vision for Change: Update from Health Service Executive (30 Nov 2017)
Anne Rabbitte: Can the HSE provide us with a list of where referral bases are in place at the moment and where addiction counsellors are in place throughout the country?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Future of Mental Health Care: A Vision for Change: Update from Health Service Executive (30 Nov 2017)
Anne Rabbitte: I suppose the reason for my line of questioning is that it is an issue in the west. Initially, some people present with an addiction and an underlying or established mental health problem. In 2014, St. Brigid's Hospital in Galway was closed. Since then, we are operating out of a 45-bed unit in an out-dated excess-capacity hospital in Galway that is not fit for purpose. Is there a...

Anne Rabbitte: How many beds are in it?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Future of Mental Health Care: A Vision for Change: Update from Health Service Executive (30 Nov 2017)
Anne Rabbitte: We are matching 50 beds with 50 beds. At the moment we have a 45-bed unit. We are gaining five beds. That is still not meeting the needs for the rest of the county or surrounding areas. Are there further steps to address a mental health capital infrastructure plan in the west?
